J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

[Black Wolf]

What? How dare you? Those engineers are clearly just totally coincidentally and nonchalantly chilling in front of a J-35 during a film piece about the J-15T. Nothing to see here:

Haha, of course! Just a totally normal day, engineers casually hanging out in front of a stealth fighter that just happens to be in frame during a segment about something else entirely.

Classic coincidence! But seriously, with China’s usual OPSEC, this feels way more like a calculated move to signal progress without making an official announcement.

Any such video is screened by relevant comrades, checking every frame.
That doesn't mean slips don't happen at all, but this is one is too obvious to not be intended.

A subtle shaping & influencing action.

Yeah, "unintentional" seems a bit hard to believe in this case. Given how strict China usually is with operational security, especially around advanced platforms like the J-35, J-35A and J20, it feels more like a deliberate move to showcase progress—maybe a subtle flex to the world.

No way that kind of footage gets out by accident if they didn't want it to.

Also a showcase of China being the only country that is serial-producing TWO 5th-gen fighter families - simultaneously, right now.

Lol, "unintentionally" filmed the J-35 while showing off the J-15. It seems like we're seeing four(maybe even five) green and one gray J-35 on the production line in that video. Here's another pic:

I think this might be the first time we've seen the J-35 Tail Hook.

Image is a bit grainy, but this is possibly a J-35 on the assembly floor (background).

I just noticed, is that still the old, non-retractable Luneburg lens design?
